Title Aisopolaisia Satuja
Credits E-text prepared by Jari Koivisto
Summary "Aisopolaisia Satuja" by Phaedrus is a collection of fables written in the mid-19th century. The book consists of various moral tales featuring anthropomorphized animals, each illustrating lessons about human behavior and ethics. The stories encompass themes of justice, cleverness, pride, and the consequences of vice, making them relatable for readers looking to understand moral lessons through engaging narratives. The opening of "Aisopolaisia Satuja" introduces the reader to a range of fables, beginning with the tale of "The Wolf and the Lamb," which reflects on the unfair treatment of the innocent by the powerful. Subsequent stories follow suit, such as "The Frog King" that deals with the repercussions of seeking power recklessly, and "The Proud Jackdaw," highlighting the importance of humility. The text emphasizes that the fables are not mere entertainment but serve to impart wisdom and moral guidance, setting the stage for the deeper exploration of character and consequence that unfolds throughout the collection.
